You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

One thing many activists I admire have in common is that they don't see hope as a fleeting thing that just visits when things are good. They see it more like a skill you practice or a muscle you build. As Mariame Kaba succinctly put it, "Hope is a discipline". friendsofattention.net/sites/defaul...

How to Web Glaze 101
Let’s protect our arts from A|, if we can’t run from them, then let’s be their pain in the ass
What is Glaze?
Basically it will cloak your art to disrupt style mimicry so A| can’t mimic your art style. Then you only post Glazed artwork and DO NOT post the original one anywhere

obviously it was pea-hacking
No-one has ever been able to replicate Gregor Mendel's observations of pea plants. They're a little "too perfect", lacking even random statistical noise that would have been expected from small sample sizes.
The big question: was it scientific fraud?

You know how I love weird treaty consequences?
The IANA bases TLDs off ISO3166 country codes. If a code stops existing, IN THEORY they follow suit and kill the TLD.
Officially this was 'British Indian Ocean Territory'.
That's the .io domain everyone loves so much.
